Dr. Moore gave devoted service to the city as a member of the Board of Education for twelve years, and was president during 1922.

A. M. He was also a member of Eagle Chapter, No. 58, R. A. M .; St. Augustine Commandery, No. 38, K. T .; Kalurah Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S .; and was Past District Deputy of the Cayuga- Tompkins Masonic District. He was also a director of the Ithaca Savings & Loan Association and a member of the Rotary Club. One of his favorite affiliations was with the Cosmos Club in Wash- ington.
Dr. Moore was widely known as a bacteriologist and writer on subjects dealing with veterinary science. He was all his life primarily a Doctor of Medicine, his original degree. Dr. Simon H. Gage, formerly a member of the Veterinary College faculty, influenced him to enter the field of veterinary medicine. But in his retirement as Dean of the State College he returned to his first love, the treatment of human ills and became superintendent of Ithaca Memorial Hospital. Much of Dr. Moore's unselfish phil- osophy is summed up in the phrase he often used in his hospital work, "The patient comes first."
The following tribute was paid Dr. Moore at the time of his death by Dr. Livingston Farrand, president of Cornell University. "It is hard to picture Cornell without the quiet, lovable, trusted figure of Dean Moore. It is doubtful if there was any man whose passing could have brought the same feeling of sadness to so many members of the community, present and past. For more than forty years Dean Moore played an important part in the building of the university. It was not alone his unchallenged leadership in the field of Veterinary Medicine that gave him his peculiar influence. It was not even his sturdy insistence upon the best scientific standards that won the admiration of his col- leagues in all the faculties. It was the sterling character of the man and the simple, winning, sympathetic personality that gave to his professional leadership its unusual touch. The state and the city have lost a great servant, and Cornell University one of its best loved men."
